Active Yogi: A Self-Test for Injury Prevention

My latest post for Active Yogi builds on the previous self-test (standing with eyes closed) to help you feel the balance within each leg.

In my last post, I described a self-test to illuminate your balance in space. You might have found that one leg was considerably easier to balance on, teaching you about balance between the left side and right side of your body. Pay special attention to the side that gives you challenge. To prevent injuries in yoga and in sports, the balance left to right within each leg is important. Specifically, how well do your inner thighs and outer hips work together to keep the joints of your feet, ankles, knee, and hip safe? Here’s a self-test to try.
